KEGS is an Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X, Linux, and Win32. The AppleIIgs was the most powerful computer in the Apple II line. It first wassold in 1986. An Apple IIgs has the capability to run almost all AppleII, Apple IIe, and Apple IIc programs.

KEGS requires a ROM image dumped from an Apple IIgs. This will typicallybe called either "rom01" (131072 bytes) or "rom03" (262144 bytes),and will often be distributed in zip files called apple2g1.zip andapple2gs.zip (for use with MESS). This package can optionally includethe ROM file. To do this, place the ROM image in the slackbuilddirectory before running the script. The image will be installedas /usr/share/kegs/rom03 (or rom01). If you do not include the ROMin the package, you will need to manually copy the rom03 image to/usr/share/kegs/rom03 before the emulator will work properly.

Optional dependency: If you intend to run Apple's GS/OS inthe emulator, you will need macutils to extract the .sea.binarchives from Apple's website. Download disk image(s) fromhttp://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html and thenrun e.g.:
